Serial Communication: Terminals

[Aaron Siegel]

Hello

I am trying to set up access the serial terminal I set up on my single board 
computer (ALIX2) running FreeBSD.  I followed the configuration provied in 
the Terminal section of the Handbook, subsection 24.3.2.1 "Adding an Entry 
to /etc/ttys forced init with the
  #kill -HUP 1.

The question is; if the login prompt is to appear where would it appear? Would 
it be one of the virtual terminals? Do I need to use cu, tip, or minicom?  
When I use cu program 
	# cu -l cuad1
I receive a message
	Connected
But I do not receive a prompt.  

The getty process is running
  # ps -axwww | grep getty
  47126  ??  I      0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 ttyd1
  47129  v0  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv0
  47130  v1  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv1
  702  v2  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv2
  703  v3  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv3
  704  v4  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv4
  705  v5  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv5
  706  v6  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv6
  707  v7  Is+    0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyv7

My /etc/ttys file
# The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc.
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
ttyd1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"  dialup  on secure
ttyd2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
ttyd3   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure

My setting on the single board computer
/etc/tty
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on secure

/boot/loader.conf
console="comconsole"
comsonsole_speed="19200"				#This may be the problem

I am going to change the /boot/loader.conf, and hope the terminal login 
appears.

Thank you
Aaron
